G Am
Another Sunday morning, another time to pray
B7 Em
A brand new dress to wear and a doll to put away
Am Em
Another sermon, another hymn to sing
Am D Dsus4 D
And on her hand a golden ring
G Am
On across the silent streets and to the church they came
B7 Em
Sheltered by the heavy walls and painted windows stained
Am Em
Listenin' to the wisdom of the words the bible told
Am D Dsus4 D
And on her hand a ring of gold
G
Then the crackle and that clatter and the
Am
crinkle of the glass
B7 Em
Fell upon the people from the power of blast
Am Em
The face of Jesus was crumbled into sand
Am D Dsus4 D
Nearby the gold ring on her hand
G
Then a scream tore through the morning air and
Am
carried down the street
B7 Em
Rage tore the hearts of men who leaped up to their feet
Am Em
Old men grew hard and the young men grew cold
Am D Dsus4 D
And on her hand a ring of gold
G Am
Then the speeches of the sorrow flowed into the town
B7
And while the men were talking two more
Em
children were shot down
Am Em
For that's the way when the law don't mean a thing
Am D Dsus4 D
And on her hand a golden ring
G
More than pity, more than anger, can you
Am
feel what has been done
B7
When hate can reach inside a church and
Em
mark the very young
Am
The young will bear the scars when they're
Em
growing in this land
Am D Dsus4 D
Rememberin' the gold ring on her hand
G Am
Another Sunday morning, another time to pray
B7 Em
Ambrand new dress to wear and a doll to put away
Am Em
Another sermon, another hymn to sing
Am D Dsus4 D
And on her hand a golden ring
